CITY OF MOORPARK,CAUFOR A City Council Meeting of -Ar-A61 ACT/ON: MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL a� AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Sean Corrigan, City Engineer/Public Works Director if")"' dir4r/4 Prepared by: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager DATE: January 6, 2017 (CC Meeting of 01/18/17) SUBJECT: Consider Potential Establishment of Railroad Quiet Zone on Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road BACKGROUND During, the December 7, 2016 Council meeting, Councilmember Pollock asked about the possibility of the City establishing a Quiet Zone on Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road (downtown area) now that Metrolink has performed railroad crossing improvements as part of their sealed corridor projects. A Quiet Zone is a section along a railroad that contains one or more consecutive public grade crossings at which locomotive horns are not routinely sounded when trains are approaching the crossings. This applies to street and pedestrian crossings within the zone. It should be noted that even in a Quiet Zone, train horns would continue to be sounded if the train engineer determines there is an emergency situation or other situations that warrant sounding the horn (such as people standing near the track). Quiet Zones also do not eliminate the use of locomotive bells at crossings. A Quiet Zone must, at minimum, be half a mile long. Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road would fall within that minimum threshold. DISCUSSION In general, significant improvements to at grade crossings are required in order for a City to establish a Quiet Zone. Rail improvements made in the downtown area will help to reduce future costs associated with establishing a Quiet Zone; however, additional improvements will still be required. Staff at Metrolink could not confirm any estimated costs of additional improvements needed in order to establish a Quiet Zone. The City would also be required to indemnify Metrolink (and possibly Amtrak and Union Pacific) for any claims associated with accidents that allegedly occur due to a train not sounding its 1.2 5 Honorable City Council January 18, 2017 Page 2 horn. This could have significant fiscal ramifications for both defense costs and damages. There are other issues to consider that may negate the benefits of establishing a Quiet Zone. The Quiet Zone would not be effective for horn use associated with the current Moorpark Metrolink train station and layover facility. Given their proximity to both Spring Road and Moorpark Avenue, the City may not see much diminishment in actual rail horn noise compared to other Quiet Zones without train stations or rail facilities. A recent proposal to create a Quiet Zone at the Burbank train station, where the two pedestrian crossings already include bells and flashing lights, was estimated to be $5 million for gate protection, additional barriers, and improved communications for second train warning. Staff at Metrolink recommended that if the City is interested in pursuing a Quiet Zone in downtown Moorpark, it should hire a consultant to help the City in determining whether or not a Quiet Zone is feasible as well as help guide the City through the process of establishing a Quiet Zone. Attachment 1 provides Metrolink's Guidelines and Procedures for establishing a Quiet Zone. In general, agencies that will be included in the process of establishing a Quiet Zone include Metrolink, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Union Pacific, Amtrak, and potentially Caltrans (due to Moorpark Avenue being a State Route). Definitive costs to establish a Quiet Zone are unknown at this time. In addition to costs associated with rail improvements, the City would also have to amend its Spring Road Maintenance Agreement and establish a Maintenance Agreement for Moorpark Avenue to cover Metrolink's maintenance costs associated with maintaining crossing improvements implemented for the Quiet Zone. The FRA has stated that crossing improvements can range from $30,000 to $1 million per crossing, depending on the level of improvements needed. Given that Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road have both had extensive improvements made as part of Metrolink's sealed corridor program, costs may be at the lower end of the range. At this time, staff does not recommend pursuing establishing a Quiet Zone in the downtown area due to the potential fiscal impact and liability concerns. Also, as previously mentioned, the downtown area may not see a significant reduction in noise given the proximity of the train station and Metrolink layover facility. In addition, this would require significant staff effort and this is not currently identified in the City's Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals, and Objectives. FISCAL IMPACT None at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION • Do not move forward with establishing a Quiet Zone in the downtown area at this time. 126 Honorable City Council January 18, 2017 Page 3 Attachment: SCRRA Quiet Zone Implementation Guidelines and Procedures 127 METROLINK., S oi.thr,rn Calif orn.-.R.girn.-.1 R:.d AUthn.Ty SCRRA Quiet Zone Implementation Guidelines and Procedures SCRRA Quiet Zone Implementation Guidelines and Procedures Exhibit "A" 1.0 GENERAL a.
